Grease a spoon and drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet, or vegetable oil sprayed wax paper. Place 3 red cinnamon candies on each bunch of "holly," pressing slightly so they stick.
Let sit until they have cooled and set.

Reviews
Tami Stephey on 2025-12-24 (5 stars): I love these and make them very frequently during the holiday season. However, this year, every batch is super hard! What am I doing wrong this year? I wouldn’t be able to tell if I changed a brand of butter or such, I do (and have always) use generic marshmallows.
Ugh, feeling sad this year. Anyone else have the issue with being hard? What’s the go to?
Thanks!
